Jordan Peterson Calls Out The "Pseudo-moralistic Stances" Of Activists | Q&A

I want to know what your response is to young people to some of the really big problems facing humanity, like the climate catastrophe, the economic crisis, the precarious job market, because you just don't like them talking about it so much. individual responsibility most of us will never be able to afford to have all these assets to have responsibility for, so what is your advice beyond banal comments like cleaning your room properly? You know, it's actually quite difficult to answer a question that ends with your comments or banal politely so that you know that I would consider it more of an opinionated personal and political statement than a question, so why don't you try rephrasing that so that there is an actual question ?

So what is your advice to young people? When you talk about needing to be individually responsible, but when there are things that are so far out of our control, like the climate catastrophe, like the precarious work economy, like if you knew the crisis, what is your response? Do you think you're worse off? Do you think you are worse off than your grandparents? I think there are different challenges. Do you think you are worse off than your grandparents? uh, Jordan, once again, we're not going to interrogate our questions, so try to answer the collective question. responsibility on climate change for example, pick one part of that because I think the argument is that individual responsibility not changing the climate doesn't solve the problem that needs global collective responsibility, so I think that's the core of the question: Do you have a theory about Well, fundamentally I'm a psychologist and my experience has been that people can do an enormous amount of good for themselves and for the people around them by looking at their own inadequacies and their own flaws and the things that they are. don'ts in their lives and start building themselves as more powerful individuals and if they are able to do that and then they are able to expand their career and if they are able to expand their career and their competence then they are able to take their place in the community as effective leaders and then are able to make wise decisions rather than reckless decisions when it comes to making collective political decisions, do not in the least suggest and have never suggested that there is no domain for social action.

I'm suggesting that people who don't have their own houses in order should be very careful before they start rearranging the world, which happens in many ways. Can I just do it if a young person believes the climate is global warming? on climate is something that needs to be addressed quickly and they can't wait until they grow up and become prime minister to do it. Do you think collective responsibility trumps individual responsibility on an issue as big as that? I think that in general I think that in general I think that in general people I think that in general people have things that are more within their personal sphere and that are more difficult to handle and that they are avoiding and that generally the way in which they avoid them It's taking
